Gopher Month | GopherConIndia 2015

Gopher Month

NOTE: WE HAVE STOPPED ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS FOR GOPHER MONTH.

Go, also called golang, is an open source programming language (though initially developed at Google) that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

A Gopher stands for the Go project and Go programmers everywhere.

Go has:

Simple, minimal syntax
Garbage collection built-in
A flexible interface system
Easy concurrency support via goroutines
Fast compilation times
Simple compile build/run procedures
Statically linked binaries that are simple to deploy
Fun to write
Much much more..

GopherConIndia 2015 will be India's first-ever Go programming conference. The conference is expected to attract the best Go programmers across the country and abroad.

GopherConIndia is celebrating the month of January - 2015 as Gopher Month. The aim is to teach and increase the awareness of Go Programming Language within the student community in India.
